CHAPTER 1081 FOUR COFFINS

Darren was surprised. "What are you doing here? Why didn't you tell me the cave under the tomb?"

"Stealing is not something to be proud of. How could I tell you?" Like a child who had made a mistake,

the old man lowered his head.

"Stealing?" Darren was confused. "What did you steal?"

"Wine," the old man blurted out. "It's also your fault! You didn't give me some of your wine."

Darren rolled his eyes.

"How can you open the tomb?"

Darren changed a topic. Hiram the Great's tomb was guarded by the bronze coffin's strong power. How

could the old man open it so easily?

"It's very simple. As long as I touch the tombstone, the cave will appear.

But I swear! I didn't take anything from here except the wine.

I already quit drinking. But I didn't expect your wine to make me crave for alcohol so much!" The old

man sighed.

"So... that means that you used to steal wine from here?" Darren asked with a smile.

"Ahem." The old man coughed to mask his awkwardness. "I only stole one drop every dozens of years.

If it weren't for that, I wouldn't have suffered so much.

Young man, don't go inside later. Half of the drop of wine I get will be yours. I'm not bluffing when I tell

you this! There is some sort of alcohol bug inside the jar. It's so terrible. If you touch it, you will surely

die!" the old man said earnestly.

"Ha!" Darren chuckled. "I'm strong. I'm not afraid of any bugs."

"Don't brag. I nearly died each time! Don't underestimate me based on my appearance. I can endure a

cut from a knife!"

"Oh, I'd like to go in and have a look," Darren said calmly.

"You! Forget it. You will know it when you're bitten," the old man said angrily, shaking his head. He then

walked forward carefully.

Darren followed him for a while. The space in front of him widened. They seemed to be in a house.

At one corner stood a big, black jar. The old man walked towards it.

He carefully lifted the lid of the jar and sniffed it.

"Smells good." He seemed to get very intoxicated.

Darren smelled the fragrance as well. It seemed familiar.

"This is..." Darren's eyes grew wide.

"It's the Immortal Assimilating Bug!" He would recognize that scent anywhere!

When Darren was in the Raksa Sea, Augustine had treated him with the wine, which was found in an

uninhabited island with an Immortal Character there. The Immortal Assimilating Bug was able to

produce the wine when it assimilated the Immortal Character.

Darren could still remember each detail.

No wonder the old man said that the bug was ferocious. It even assimilated the Immortal Character!

With that, Darren couldn't help but take a few steps back. He looked at the old man quietly.

The old man was using a leaf to take some wine from the bottom of the jar.

"Ouch! It hurts!"

The old man's face twitched as if he had been bitten by the Immortal Assimilating Bugs.

"Sir, do you see strange crystals in the jar?"

Darren knew that there must be an Immortal Character or God Character inside the jar.

"There are no crystals, just a few black rocks,"

the old man replied to Darren, and carefully took out the leaf. There was a drop of wine dangling from

the lip.

A few bugs bit his palm desperately. The old man swept over them with his other hand.

"Go away, you nasty, little bugs." When the old man got the wine, he looked very excited.

"Can you take those stones out?"

"What do you need them for?"

"They would be very useful to me."

"Humph!" The old man snorted. "I don't want to help a stingy man."

"Sir, don't be like that. It's very important."

Darren had a hunch that the things at the bottom of the jar were actually the World Essence.

"It doesn't matter to me."

Darren had no choice but to reply, "After you finish this drop of wine, you will have to wait for dozens of

years for another taste. If you help me, I promise you will have all the wine that you want!"

"What?" The old man's eyes lit up. "It's a deal!"

"Yes, a deal."

"Don't back out."

"Of course not."

"Okay, I'll trust you." The old man reached out his hand and took out four octahedral crystals. He threw

them at Darren.

Darren didn't dare touch them with his bare hands. The last time he got Lincoln's and Tywon's remnant

God Characters, he could only get them by putting them in the Ancient Void Battlefield. ConTEent bel0ngs to Nôv(e)lD/rama(.)Org .

Buzz...

However, the four crystals stayed suspended in midair.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

The underground cave began to shake.

Sand and dust fell all around them. It seemed that the cave was going to collapse!

"Run!"

The old man carefully placed the drop of wine into a small vial. He turned to run. When he passed

Darren, he grabbed his arm. However, Darren did not move.

Several phantoms appeared in the cave, forming four rectangular shapes. The shapes materialized

and fell to the ground at the same time.

They were four black iron coffins!

"Oh, no! Is this place haunted? Why are there four coffins? We must be in big trouble! I'm so sorry!"

When the old man saw the coffins, he trembled in fear. He immediately kneeled on the ground and

bowed.

"You've come."

Just then, a cyan shadow appeared in front of the four coffins.

The shadow was clad in cyan armor. His black hair flowed freely, as if being blown by a gentle breeze.

"Hiram the Great!"

Darren said excitedly.

But Darren was confused. Had Hiram the Great been waiting for him?

"Sorry, sir, do you know who I am?" Darren asked.

"I don't know you."

"Then what did you mean by 'you've come'?" Darren asked.

"People who are able to come here are the ones on the same path as me. I haven't finished the

mission of killing the fiend. The witcher ancestor has handed it over to you, right?"

"Yes. I need to know where the World Essence is. This is a matter of life and death!" Darren said.

"I was only formed by a strand of my spiritual sense. I don't know where the World Essence is."

The shadow's answer disappointed Darren. Hiram the Great was extremely cautious. Even the strand

of spiritual sense he left behind didn't know the location of the World Essence.

"So, why do you keep this spiritual sense?"

If it was not for the purpose of leaving the clue of the World Essence, why did Hiram the Great build an

underground cave in his tomb? Why did he leave his spiritual sense here?

There were also four Immortal or God Characters lying around. Darren was genuinely confused.
